Struggling Tigers inching towards top-5 pick in 2018 MLB dra

[wang1993]

Following the trades John Lackey Womens Jersey of Justin Upton and Justin Verlander last week, the Detroit Tigers have firmly set their sights on 2018 and beyond. The team seemingly echoed this sentiment in a forgettable weekend series Javier Baez Jersey against the Cleveland Indians; they were out-scored 29-5 in four games. While the Jason Hammel Kids Jersey games themselves have been tough to watch, there is one silver lining to all of these losses. The Tigers currently have the fifth-worst record in baseball, meaning they would receive the No. 6 selection in the 2018 MLB draft. They and the New York Mets both have a 58-88 record, but the Tigers hold Jake Arrieta Jersey a tiebreaker over New York (more on that later). The Oakland Athletics are also 58-78, but hold the tiebreaker over both the Tigers and Mets. Fans don’t always like to think Hector Rondon Jersey of their team’s poor record, but the Tigers’ place in the final standings could have major repercussions for the future of the franchise. Obviously, a higher draft pick gives the Tigers a better shot at one of the top talents in the Greg Maddux Jersey upcoming draft.
